Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
No time was to be lost; by order from the brigade commander our men took arms and the 17th by a half wheel to the left, advanced at double-quick up the hill and occupied the crest just as a brigade of rebel troops were advancing up the other slope. We opened a well directed volley upon them, doing great execution, and in spite of the frantic efforts of their officers they broke and fled in the greatest disorder, leaving many of their dead and wounded in our hands.
